Am mid-way through the Certo. I need to resolder a joint on my shutter tester PCB and check it out, clean up the camera body, and put it back together. Cleaned the lenses and rangefinder tonight. \both front and back lenses just unscrew, and if you need to get into the shutter gubbins, it's a few screws and you're there, minutes' work.

TBH haven't even looked at the Vito, I was thinking of it but there is a 1940s day for the Queen's birthday in a couple of weeks so I thought I'd get the Certo ready and put some B&W film in it. Few things turn heads like a folding camera!

There's a Pentax MX for sale in Bristol, £35 on Gumtree, a steal if anyone's down that way. They sell for close on twice that normally.
